Martin, It looks like Arch is using hald simultaneously with udev. I tested the "flawed" build from Arch in Ubuntu on three different drives and see no issues. Although 17 sectors is very unusual, it mostly works. Couldn't be that a race condition with hald, that is deprecated in Ubuntu since Karmic. If I have time I'll try to install Arch and test.
see this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103373 It seems unlikely to me though, because then the read command should bomb with SK=0xb (aborted command) and the program would bail out with -1 status. -- cdrom_id: Does not recognize reblanked DVD+RW, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581925 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
